Bringing the promise of education to single parents for over 30 years

Selfpower is the power and confidence that comes from deep within the human spirit – once it’s realized, no one can ever take it away. Our role at Project Self-Sufficiency is to simply help single parents see it, believe it, and achieve it.

Our goal as an organization is to cultivate the grit and determination necessary for a lifetime of achievements for single parents and their children.

When families are able to support themselves and activate their selfpower, our community is stronger.

BRING THE POWER

In the face of hard emotional, physical and financial circumstances, it takes remarkable effort to apply for and get through educational programs and develop career stability for single parents and their children. This kind of success doesn’t happen alone, or overnight, and there are significant challenges to overcome.

Bring the promise of education to single parents.

“They move people to self-sufficient places in a way where they can become leaders, they actualizepeople.”

Our Model

We partner with single parents on their journey to achieve a rewarding education and develop a career that matters.

From the beginning, every Participant is paired with an Advisor to create an empowering and trusting relationship. The first steps in the program involve stabilization, strengths-finding, and career counseling to build a personal plan for gaining more education and training. Our model has built-in resources, so Participants can be successful in their journey towards a better future.

“As soon as I began working with my Advisor, I felt a sense of relief that I could finally do it, that I could finally get an education. I had no idea how much support I would actually receive though, and how much of a difference it would make in every aspect of our lives.
